Cut Throat (Los Angeles, California)

http://www.cutthroatonline.com/

Cut Throat was formed in 1997 by a group of talented, hard-working musicians. Tired of being told what type of music they should play, Cut Throat decided to go against the pervasive Grunge grain to play the hard rock music they love. Their defiance has paid off. After only a short time, they are taking hard rock and metal to a new generation. This all-original band has developed a strong local following, despite the recent lethargy of the L.A. music scene, by delivering its signature hard-hitting, energetic live performances. With the release of their self-titled, debut CD, along with a strong internet presence, Cut Throat has sparked international attention from both fans and magazines, fanzines, labels, and music-based websites.

Cut Throat's current line-up is led by vocalist Sean Okin, whose raw vocal ability contributes to the band's distinctive sound.
The guitar team of Darwin DeVitis and Ken Snyder each bring his own unique guitar style to this hard-driving mix: speedy, yet melodic with a heavy twist. Bassist John Anderson and drummer Ramsay Bisharah provide the solid, rhythmic foundation on which the music is built.

Cut Throat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cut Throat
American Nightmare
Fugitive

One hand on the steering wheel
The other on a forty five
A hundred miles an hour
With tombstones in his eyes'

Smokes his last cigarette
And looks in the rear view mirror
Alone on this desert road
He feels it drawing nearer

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one

Its just about midnight
As he croses the state line
If he just reache the border
He knows he'll be just fine
Man out on the radio
Is running out of time
Bid to do the punnishment
You know he'll do the time

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
Thet call it murder one

A few more miles to freedom
Their is no time to waste
All the beads of sweat
Runnin down his face
Then theirs something in his face
Shattered by the sound
Of sires and gun fire
Comming from all around

One hand on the steering wheel
One on his forty five
Their ain't no way in hell
Their taking him alive
As he lay their bleeding
Holding a smokeing gun

As long as their are others like him
DON'T THINK THAT YOU HAVE WON

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one

The fugitive
The fugitive
Hes alwase on the run
They call it skinny justice
They call it murder one
They call it murder one

They call it murder one
They call it murder one

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the man's desperation as he speeds down a desert road, with a gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other, constantly looking behind him, knowing that the police are getting closer.

The song speaks of the unjust and corrupt system that the man is trying to escape from, as they call it "skinny justice" and "murder one." The man knows that if he is caught, he will face a harsh punishment, and so he risks everything to reach the border where he hopes to find freedom.

Unfortunately, the man's journey comes to a tragic end, as he is caught by the police and left bleeding on the side of the road. The song ends with a warning that there will always be others like him, and the fight for justice and freedom will continue.
